As I get older it is harder to find shoes that are a good fit. These were better than most and I make it work by adding an insole.

Excellent First Impressions - Ready for the Trails!
1 year ago
I recently got the Targhee IV Waterproof Hiking Shoes from KEEN, and they are impressive. The design is rugged and stylish, and they feel incredibly comfortable. The Original Fit provides ample room for my toes, and the cushioning is superb with the LuftCell midsole. I love the eco-friendly features like the glue-free KEEN.FUSION construction and recycled plastic laces. Looking forward to taking these on my hikes. Will update after a few months of use!

Cushioning is lost prematurely.

I recall reviewing Keen footwear and telling about how they're a good shoe out of the box, but how longevity leaves a lot to be desired. Cas in point. I have this shoe, Men's Targhee IV Wide Wat. . . Dark Olive/Gold Flame. It was great. I alternate my shoes so as not to develop sores. These still look like new, but the cushioning is gone. I can no longer wear them. I think I bought them last summer. With rotating them as I do, they should have lasted much longer. I guess I'll use them as slippers now.

4th or 5th pair warrantied
9 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They did stand by there product but I haven't been able to find even one pair that'll last a year from them. The quality of there product has gone down so much since covid. They will not warranty this pair out when I have problems with them because they don't want to warranty any more. This is the last pair I'll ever get since they won't stand by there product. Keen used to last me 21/2 to 3 years a pair. Now I'm lucky if they last 6 months before falling apart. Keen was my favorite but just aren't a good enough shoe. Don't waste your money find a better product

Defective Not Expected from Keen or REI
2 weeks ago
Right shoe defective. Sewing of the tongue not finished correctly. The tongue digs into my foot even when I tie them a little loose. Had signs of being worn previously. Not what I expected from KEEN or REI. Seems like it could have been a great shoe. But if the quality of KEEN shoes continue to go down over the years I will have to find a different favorite shoe brand. Pretty frustrating ordering online and waiting a week for a pair of shoes that I now have to return.

Best Hiking Shoes Comfortable and Stylish!

The Keen Targhee IV is hands down the best-feeling hiking shoe I’ve owned. I got them for work, and they provide amazing comfort and support all day. Plus, they’re surprisingly stylish, making them perfect for both function and fashion. Highly recommend!

The most uncomfortable shoe right out of the box!
2 months ago
I loved the fit and comfort of my Targhee III's, but they started falling apart. I needed to replace them with another waterproof low-top hiker. The Targhee IV's look great and Keens fit my wide feet really well. I really wanted to love these Targhee IV's. But man, how can such a pricey pair of shoes be so incredibly uncomfortable right out of the box?!! Open the box, put them on, and OUCH! Immediate discomfort across the balls of my feet and toes. I thought, wear them around the house and maybe they'll feel better. Nope. Just got worse. These shoes fit great but are terribly uncomfortable, and are going back immediately.

Walking comfortably again
6 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Zero break-in time for these shoes. My feet are comfortable again, for all activities. Background: I’d replaced my daily shoes thru my usual, reputable shoe manufacturer but the model I chose had a rigid sole. Wore them once and thought I’d broken something in my feet. So painful. Emergency appointment with a Podiatrist revealed no broken bones but I do have very high arches, which are incompatible with stiff soles. Podiatrist recommended Keen shoes. These shoes apparently support my arch and bend in the right place for my feet. Relieved, and back to daily walks the same day they arrived. Great, engineered shoes.

Great option for women with wide feet
9 months ago
For all my wide footed girlies who can't find a woman's shoe that will fit - look no further. I spent over an hour at REI trying on hiking shoes (not a fan of "boots", they always seem to rub my ankles) for my Scottish highlands adventure. I was in desperate need of waterproof gear, with no hope in sight. At last, the sales associate brought out these Keens. I'm not going to lie, I'm a girly girl and seeing this color combo I was like "absolutely not". But once I got over my snobbiness, and tried the shoes on, I was pleasantly surprised! They fit my inserts perfectly, and were wide enough for my hooves. I spent 2 weeks hiking through Scotland, and not once did I get a blister OR have water get in my shoes (and boy did it RAIN).

Great shoe!
1 year ago
The Targhee IV seems to be a major improvement over prior versions of the shoe. I have experienced major problems with sole de-lamination and failures of the material on the front sides near the toes. The Targhee IV looks like it's using leather in that area now rather than some plastic-like material that started cracking on the first day of wear. The shoes are very breathable, especially for being a waterproof shoe. I have come to expect Keen shoes to be comfortable the first day and ready for hike and there was no disappointment there. Time will tell on the lamination and durability issues. But so far I am very encouraged to see a change towards a much higher quality product.
